Retro Rewind 80s was created by a GenX kid for other GenX kids. I wanted a place where I could post about things I loved growing up in the 70s-90s, and a place where other people could come and have fun. That is the key word here: FUN. This podcast is your ultimate destination for everything related to the unforgettable pop culture of the 1980s. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just starting to explore this exciting period in pop culture history, Retro Rewind 80s is here to take you on an exciting journey through the music, movies, TV shows, fashion, and celebrities that defined the decade.

Brace yourself for a rollercoaster ride through the realms of Transformers, GI Joe, and Thundercats, where Matt and Hal dissect the triumphs and pitfalls of modern remakes that failed to capture the essence of the beloved originals.
